About Hazard Signs<br />
Within our Hazard Sign section most signs use supplementary text and have headings<br />
with the words Danger, Warning or Caution dependent upon the severity of risk. These<br />
words can be defi ned as follows:<br />
Danger<br />
• Used for a high level of risk which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious<br />
injury.<br />
Warning<br />
• Used for a medium level risk which, if not avoided, may result in injury or death.<br />
Caution<br />
• Used for a low level risk which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury.<br />
